Popularity of Chinese-made EVs grows rapidly in Egypt

After years of using a gasoline-powered car, Poula Mounir, an electric vehicle (EV) seller in the Egyptian capital Cairo, decided to acquire a Chinese-made EV following a series of careful comparisons.

Currently driving a Chinese BYD Song L SUV, Mounir expressed admiration for the quality of Chinese EVs, noting that Chinese electric cars are distinct from European ones in terms of technology and battery quality.

"I noticed a big difference in terms of cost, maintenance, and efficiency," he told Xinhua, praising the batteries of BYD cars as his car has a range of over 600 kilometers on a single charge.

The Egyptian market is witnessing remarkable growth in the number of electric cars, with many Chinese-made EVs traveling on Egyptian roads.

From BYD and Geely to ZEEKR and NIO, Chinese manufacturers provide various models of electric cars that are gaining global popularity among Egyptians, Mounir told Xinhua.
